Malaysia IT Fair 2015

So earlier today, I was at the Mid Valley Exhibition Centre as early as 9am... but, to my utmost surprise, the area was already quite crowded with people queuing up for the special offers.

Yeah, you got it, the Malaysia IT Fair (MITF) which is organized by Unified Distribution Technology Sdn Bhd (UDT) is back and will be on until the 31st August 2015!!

The MITF is known to be the leading and most attended IT Exhibition in Malaysia is also launching the highly anticipated TECHBIZ @Malaysia IT Fair as well.

My blogger friend Tommy was apparently there since 7 am.. and after queuing for 3 hours plus, he manage to get one of the rare hot deals , a 1.5TB Hard Disk for RM199....there were also countless people who manage to get their hands on a 8GB thumb drive including my blogger friend Jane...

Anyway, we got ourselves registered and then waited patiently for the VIPs to arrive.

And when you get a group of bloggers doing nothing but waiting, naturally, we have to get a photo or two in... hehehe

Then when the VIPs have moved to the side, suddenly we were treated to a flash mob performance...

...and another photo opportunity at the end of the dance with the management and VIPs...

Then we were ushered to the stage area where the Kaspersky Internet Security 2016 was launched by Datuk Jailani Johari again, along with Kaspersky Lab, SEA, Channel Sales Director , Mr Jimmy Fong.

Kaspersky Lab presented and launched the new version of its flagship security solution for home users, specifically to protect what matters most to its users: their privacy, data, identity, money and the device itself...

This new solution includes updated technologies on the users devices on whichever platforms they choose, be it, Windows, OS X or even Android... The new solution includes a set of new features aim to protect users' private lives..

According to Unified Distribution Technology Sdn Bhd General Manager, Ms June Lee, Kaspersky Lab promotes better digital protection for both the consumer and the enterprise space, as proven through its long term support and sponsorship of the Malaysia IT Fair, and now TECHBIZ.

Working with Kaspersky Lab, the Malaysia IT Fair is offering KIS 2016 at an even more affordable pricing than last year, for superior digital protection!! To know more, head over to the Malaysia IT Fair and check it out... I can assure you you won't regret it...

Mr Jimmy Wong believes that personal privacy is everyone's right , whether it is in the real world or in the virtual world. This is why Kaspersky Lab continuously strive to provide the best protection for their users- their personal files and privacy from would be cyber criminals.

The introduction of the KIS 2016 is timely because many Malaysians now are suffering from 'Digital Amnesia', a human behavior in which people resort to entrusting their devices to store important information instead of memorizing it.

This habit and reliance on devices to store our data such as our bank account numbers, passwords, and so on grows parallel with the exposure to cyber threats as well...

Datuk Jailani gave a short speech as well before the Kaspersky 2016 was officially launched...

Some of the key features you can find on the Kaspersky Internet Security 2016 would be the Private Browsing that removes accessed information from the browser and block request to the user via a dedicated plugin ( available for Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome).

Then there is the Change Control that detects any process attempting to introduce network and sistem configuration changes, which can actually lead to plugins and extensions that collect information on our privacy and online behaviors and use it for different purposes...

There is also the updated Privacy Cleaner toll that helps remove all traces of user activity from a Windows Computer, including browser history, list of the latest documents opened etc.. There is also the Webcam Protection that prevents interception of images from the webcam...

Imagine, you are getting all these maximum protection along with protection from the Malware and Viruses for a great price...

During the Malaysia IT Fair, you can get two KIS 2016 3-users 1-year licenses for the price of one KIS 2016 3-users 1-year licenses, working out to just RM29.80 per user license!!!

There was a small Kaspersky Product Presentation by Mr Jimmy Low, and after that, we were again entertained by the flash mob which made us all thrilled with their dancing skills and performance...

Then members of the media, including yours truly followed Dato' Jailani on a VIP tour of TECHBIZ, including a stop at MAMPU's booth. MAMPU is also using TECHBIZ to educate and share the many great developments they have created for the Malaysian Goverment, business communities and general public...

TECHBIZ @ Malaysia IT Fair brings all these new technologies and solutions to one place where everyone, irregardless of where they are from (whether Government Ministries, Public Listed Companies, MNCs, Local Enterprises, Corporate and SMBs) can conveniently discover, learn and evaluate it all....

Yours truly, and her blogger friends naturally took the opportunity to browse around and find out own deals... There were just so much to look and see

The crowd was pretty happening as you can see, because everyone likes nothing then getting great deals..

Here is Tommy with his Hot Deal purchase!!!!

I had a great time browsing through the smart phones, laptops on exhibit, and also all the bags, power banks, speakers, head phones...

...and yes, in case you were wondering, I got myself a new headphone, a 16 GB mini SD card which was very reasonably priced at just RM19.90!!!

Oh, yeah, while you are there, be sure to check out the free seminars available which you can check out and learn a few new things... FREE!!!!

Then we attended the press conference with the members of the media and the management team which was held at the Magnum Cafe....

Remember, this Malaysia IT Fair, TECHBIZ and Kaspersky deals are all ongoing now until this coming Monday the 31st of August, so take the time to visit MVEC tomorrow or day after and find amazing deals for your self, your family members or friends.... Don't miss it!!!
